What project was most valuable to you, and what have you gained from it?
Easy, the American Icons project. It truly helped me move pass a personal loss of a friend and really helped me grow overall as a human being. Although the process was extremely difficult, challenging, and at times seemed to be not worth it, in the end it was one of the great projects due to the help I attained from it.
Describe one valuable mistake you made this year.
One valuable mistake that I made this year was failing time after time to come up with Ampersand article ideas. I went through poems, fictional photo essays, nonfictional photo essays, and finally settling upon a true debate type of essay. Going through all of this craziness, I find that my final topic/theme was very much stronger compared to all of my other writings.
What is your greatest strength as a student in a project-based learning environment?
I get the work done. I always do. Well, there was one time when I had swine flu and missed out on very important newspaper work time. Nevertheless, I continue to surprise many of my classmates with the work ethic I put into collaborative projects, and sometimes I even surprise myself as well. I don’t necessarily always know what I’m doing during these projects, but as John Locke once said, “No man’s education can go beyond his experience”, which is a quote that very much sums up the High Tech Village spirit.
